E-marketplace platforms sector inquiry report

The E-Marketplace Platforms Sector Inquiry Preliminary Report, published by the Competition Board with the statement below, is very valuable for the development of the sector and e-commerce and for identifying the current situation.

The Preliminary Report stage has been completed within the scope of the “E-Marketplace Platforms Sector Inquiry”, launched by the Competition Board on 11.06.2020 to identify possible competition problems in the sector and to determine effective policy tools to address them, so that the benefits that e-marketplaces, which have grown rapidly in recent years and become the dominant actors of e-commerce in our country, create for consumers and sellers are preserved in the long term, and the Report is now being opened to public comment.

Public comments on the findings, determinations, assessments and policy recommendations of the Preliminary Report can be sent to our Authority by post or by email to epazaryeri@rekabet.gov.tr until the end of working hours on 09.07.2021.

A workshop with the participation of sector stakeholders is planned to be held soon regarding the Preliminary Report, and the details of the workshop will be announced separately on the Authority's website.
